Dear list members,
I am searching from Holland for my family from my mothers side who
original came from Germany from the villages Merzen, Hollenstede and
Schwagstorf in the surrounding of Osnabrueck.
The family names are Pohl and Vosseberg; they came between 1700 and 1800
from Germany to Holland and started in the surrounding of Utrecht
(Vinkeveen) in the winning and trade of Torf.
Some of the names I allready found are:
* Gert Heinrich Pohl, * 1833 in Merzen X Maria Elisabeth Bertken *
17-06-1810 Merzen daughter of Hermann Bertken and Catharina Pater.
* Gert Heinrich Pohl , * 1751 Hollenstede
* Gerardus Vosseberg, Merzen
* Barend Hendrik (Heinrich) *1807 Merzen X Maria Catharina Kodde
* Johannus Gerardus Vosseberg Zu Hollenstede
* Bernardus Vosseberg, Merzen
* Franciscus Vosseberg
Perhaps there is someone fore whome the above mentioned information
looks familiar, or perhaps is there a lot of excisting information
allready available!!!
Thanks in advance for all reactions on this subject.
Regards,
Martin Versteeg
